A heavy, geometric stencil built from broad rectangular strokes with low contrast and squared forms softened by rounded corners. Many letters are constructed from modular segments with deliberate breaks and bridges, producing enclosed counters that read as cut-outs. Terminals are blunt and often aligned to a strict horizontal/vertical grid, while diagonals appear mainly in A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y, and Z as clean, planar slices. Spacing feels compact and the overall silhouette is blocky and stable, prioritizing strong shapes over fine detail in text.
Best suited to display settings where bold, high-impact letterforms are desirable—posters, headlines, branding accents, industrial-style packaging, and short signage. It also fits UI or in-game typography for sci-fi or tactical themes, where the stencil breaks contribute to atmosphere more than long-form readability.
The tone is utilitarian and engineered, evoking industrial labeling, military equipment markings, and futuristic interface typography. The segmented construction adds a coded, technical feel, while the wide stance and dense black shapes project authority and impact.
The design appears intended to merge a practical stencil logic with a modern, modular aesthetic, delivering a rugged, technical voice that reads clearly at large sizes and retains a distinctive cut-out texture.
Several glyphs use internal notches and mid-stroke separations that create distinctive negative shapes, helping maintain stencil continuity even in small apertures. In the sample text, the strong rhythm and consistent modularity keep lines visually uniform, though the pronounced breaks can become a prominent texture in longer passages.
